Everton are close to complete the signing of young 17 year old centre back Ryan Robinson

Shelbourne boss John McDonnell says that Everton are in talks to sign young centre half Ryan Robinson from the Irish side.

The 18 year old joined Shelbourne from St. Kevin’s Boys at the start of the U19 season in July 2013 after captaining his former Under 17 side to a treble, securing the DDSL 17 Premier title, the DDSL Cup and the All-Ireland trophy in his final season with the club.

Now looking to make his name in England, Robinson has already taken to Twitter saying that Seamus Coleman will look after him if he joins the Blues.

“Everton are chipping away with us on Ryan at the moment and we hope to get the deal over the line soon, ” Shelbourne boss McDonnell told the Irish Examiner.

“The initial fee won’t make us millionaires but we’ll make sure it’s heavy on the end of it. It might be better for us to go for the add-ons and everything else.

“Ryan certainly has a big future in the game. Everton would have seen a rawness to him but he has a lot going for him.

“We’d have no problem allowing him to move on to a better level in England.”
